Trust Bit Sweet Iron 3-Ring Snaffle Flat Bar 16mm 12.5

Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at its thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The bit Trust Sweet Iron 3-Ring Bit Flat Bar 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar. The mouthpiece has a size of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for thoroughbreds.

Cheek Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
